The Copa Del Rey is the oldest-running professional soccer tournament in all of Spain, with the first edition of the competition taking place in 1903.
In its 122-year history, 17 teams across Spain have been crowned Copa Del Rey champions. Two of those champions, of course, are the two biggest clubs in Spanish soccer and arguably the two biggest clubs in world soccer.
Real Madrid and Barcelona have a long history in the Copa Del Rey. Real Madrid lifted the trophy for the first time in 1905 and five years later, Barcelona became the first Catalan team to win the competition.
Since, there's been innumerable epic moments for both clubs in the Copa Del Rey and, on Saturday, Apr. 26, Los Blancos and Los Blaugranas will meet in the Copa Del Rey final for the first time in 11 years, adding another chapter to the rich history of their rivalry and the competition.
With Real Madrid and Barcelona fighting for another Copa Del Rey to add to their trophy cabinet, we look back at the times these two Spanish soccer giants have been crowned champions of the most ancient tournament in the country.
